A Hingham excavating company and its owners will pay $17,000 to settle allegations that the company failed to submit and maintain accurate payroll records, Attorney General Martha Coakley’s office said.

The attorney general’s office said Albert Emanuello Sr., Albert Emanuello Jr. and Emanuello Excavating also agreed to not bid on a public works job for one year.

The project in question involved work at the new Foxboro Public Safety Building. Investigators determined that Emanuello Excavating failed to submit certified payroll records to the public authority that had awarded the contract, Coakley’s office said. Emanuello Excavating also often paid its employees in cash and did not keep any records of the wages, according to the attorney general.
